Dear Sylvia,
 
You do not offend!  I have never liked the story either, but have always 
felt that it may explain a turning point for humanity, a choice of seeking 
Light  which does lead to a different view of things as evidenced by k 
experiences, or not seeking Light. The story was used to degrade women and 
as power over women. It has been a long struggle for women to emerge from 
the abuse of that paricular story. I too denounce the abuse, but feel 
intrigued by the other parts of the story, the choices implied. Sometimes it 
is difficult to separate truth fom the tradition it becomes shrouded in. 
Many are seeking k experiences today and it is leading many to a higher 
consciousness. Maybe the story is about the choice every human has in a 
lifetime, to seek Light or not to seek Light. I do not really know. Mere 
speculation.
 
Many Blessings and Love,  Carol
